The trend to incorporate sidekick figures - or just apply the plastic and paint of one figure to another - is delightful. Crayboth Zekroyas is a tiny little crab guy, designed to match Alpha 7 Zekroyas [FOTD #1,535] from the same wave as well as a Quallerran, too.

The Crayboth has 5 joints and a familiar color layout, but with new colors. A red body has bright red eyes and blaster highlights, plus off-white bits on the head and arms and knees. Dark dark dark red - almost black - paint covers the thighs and shoulders, as well as the "beak." I assume this makes him an honorary Martian.

As always, the figure's jointed arms and legs are completely removable and swappable with other standard Glyos pegs. There aren't a lot of amazing swaps you can do with the Crays, as few parts really look good on this body. As a collectible, there are an obscene amount of these little guys which I was all-in on collecting until I missed a few freebies and the rate at which they were released got to be pretty heated. Over 100 of them have been made, with dozens in just the last two years. Catching up would be difficult, but I like picking up a few here and there especially when they so perfectly match an Outer Space Men figure. If you have the means, get one, it's pretty good. I wouldn't advise you go all-in on these little alien creatures, though, just because it might take a few years and lead to madness.
